What:Tech
Collective's GRRL (Girls Reaching Remarkable Levels) Tech is an
interactive technology expo offering female high school students an
up-close and engaging look into dynamic and rewarding technology
opportunities. Through industry mentoring and hands-on workshops, GRRL
Tech aims to encourage STEM learning, break down gender myths and offer
career insight into STEM industries.

In its 11th installment, this year’s GRRL Tech expo will be
hosted by the University of Rhode Island, pairing faculty and staff with
female industry professionals in facilitating 23 student workshops
focused on STEM fields ranging from bioscience, animal science, and
oceanography to engineering, physics, and computer science. Sessions
will be held across the campus, including in the new Center for
Biotechnology & Life Sciences building.

Additionally, between three and five GRRL Tech attendees will be awarded
4-year, $4,000 tuition scholarships to URI. Recipients are determined by
their essay submissions as chosen by the GRRL Tech Scholarship Committee
and will be announced at the end of the expo.
